Don't recreate the entire server on restart

insuusvenerati commented 1 year ago

Reinstalling the Project Zomboid files every time the container restarts takes a great deal of time. Is there a way to check if the server files need updating before reinstalling?

Renegade-Master commented 1 year ago

It doesn't though.

This is where it checks if it is necessary to redownload.

The only thing that is redownloaded on a restart is the SteamCMD binary updating itself. What is the issue you are seeing?

If you are finding that it redownloads every time, then you must be providing a new Volume every time.

Well it starts off like this after I restart the server

Renegade-Master commented 1 year ago

And there is absolutely no chance that the files it downloaded are being deleted?

It only ever updates like that in two situations:

there are no files in the directory, so Steam downloads them. If the files are present (even copied from somewhere else) then Steam will recognise them and not redownload.
The files are detected, but there is an update for the game. In this case, only the update is downloaded.

Also, this concerns me zomboid_server | Redirecting stderr to '/root/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'

Are you running this a a root user?

insuusvenerati commented 1 year ago

I doubled checked while restarting and there was no evidence any files from ZomboidDedicatedServer were deleted or modified.

Docker runs as root by default and it doesn't appear that you've setup a non root user in the Dockerfile. This is indicated by the owner of the files in the folders themselves.

I checked and that file appears to be empty.

Renegade-Master commented 1 year ago

Ah, they are all owned by root though.

Try to run the following:

sudo rm -rf ./Zomboid*

USER_ID=$(id -u)
GROUP_ID=$(id -g)

Then modify the docker-compose.yaml file to include those IDs:

version: "3.8"

services:
  zomboid-dedicated-server:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: docker/zomboid-dedicated-server.Dockerfile
    image: "docker.io/renegademaster/zomboid-dedicated-server:latest"
    container_name: zomboid-dedicated-server
    restart: "no"
    user: "<user_id>:<group_id>"

and try again.

Then shut it down, and start it up again.

Do not use sudo when running anything to do with this server. See #8 for similar issues. There are warnings in the README against running this as root.

insuusvenerati commented 1 year ago

Was just working on that before you replied, however I get some interesting errors when running as non-root.

Also, I ran docker-compose down to remove the containers before I restarted this time.

Renegade-Master commented 1 year ago

You have to delete the folders now. They belong to root.

insuusvenerati commented 1 year ago

I don't mean to argue but i'm not inexperienced with docker or linux. And this image is not rootless. There is no USER directive in either your zomboid image or the base image. I cloned the repo, ran the included docker-compose.yml without modifications, and got a shell into the container.

Renegade-Master commented 1 year ago

According to the README, your actions are supposed to be:

Remove existing folder structure: sudo rm -rf ./Zomboid*
Create the folders yourself before running anything: mkdir ./ZomboidConfig ZomboidDedicatedServer.
Ensure that you configure the docker-compose.yaml to use your User and Group IDs.
Launch the server: docker-compose up --detach && docker-compose logs --follow

Can you please confirm that following those steps results in the same issue?

Renegade-Master commented 1 year ago

This project previously included the user directive, but that proved to result in people having more issues.

If you really want to run it rootlessly, use Podman rather than Docker.

This image does what it can to facilitate running as any user, but running it as root specifically causes problems.

Thank you for the log. I do appreciate the effort.

This is odd.

If you created the folder. And you instructed the image to run as your user. And you started the docker-compose binary also as your user.

Then you are doing everything right, and this is very strange. You can check the GitHub Actions yourself. The image works with a given user, so I can only assume there is something special about your environment.

I'll try to run it fresh myself tomorrow on a VM, but I have to leave support for now. It's 00:20 🙂

This project previously included the user directive, but that proved to result in people having more issues.

If you really want to run it rootlessly, use Podman rather than Docker.

This image does what it can to facilitate running as any user, but running it as root specifically causes problems.

I think you're confusing running docker "rootless" and running as a non root user in a container. They're different things and aren't interchangeable. The standard docker installation runs the docker engine as root which is fine in most instances. However running as root inside of a long running container is a security risk. I'm already working on fixing the non root user issue. Id gladly submit a PR if you'd like. Id be interested in the problems folks ran into running as non root.

Id be interested in the problems folks ran into running as non root.

They run into the same issue. "Permission denied" for anyone that attempts to run this as "root".

This image makes no mention of "users" anymore, in either this image, or the one it is based on. For the most part that works.

In my own deployments, I either:

include my own user in the docker group
or I change the permission on the /var/docker.sock (or /run/docker.sock) socket to be only usable by my user

I would be interested in seeing how you would improve this situation though. It would be really appreciated if you have suggestions. If I can make this truly "rootless", I believe it would make it more compatible with K8S deployments also (which has been an issue in the past).
